The difference between EXPORTING and ARCHIVING

EXPORTING and ARCHIVING – What’s the difference?

Archiving a course creates a complete copy of a course in a zipped file format. All cumulative grade columns, Student grades and associated settings in the archived source course are included in the course package. The zip file can only be unzipped in Bb.  You should keep an archived copy of your course for your records.

Exporting allows you to select all or part(s) of an existing course to add to a zipped file. It does not include student data.  All Calculated Grade columns and associated settings in the source course are included in the course package when the Grade Center is selected as part of an export.  You should export your course if you plan on reusing the course in a future semester.
